<p><font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Purpose</font></font>
<ul>The <b>Optimized For Plotting</b> opcode gives the WHIP! data generators the
ability to choose whether to optimize the WHIP! data for display or
plotting. This opcode categorizes WHIP! data as either optimized
for plotting or for displaying.
<p>The viewers must honor this opcode and take full advantage of
the nature of the WHIP! data while plotting or displaying the drawables
from WHIP! data. When the WHIP! data is optimized for plotting,
the WHIP! data generator should store enough data to allow full fidelity
plots at the selected resolution and color depth. When the WHIP! data 
is optimized for display, allow for much deeper zooms.</ul>

<font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Use Case</font></font>
<ul>When the WHIP! data is "optimized for plotting" the users should
send a plot-ready file to a reprographer or a colleague and be assured
that they will be able to plot the right picture.</ul>
